Wouldn't help. You'd just get a single-patent-single-company constellations. So, if a company
bows to the threats, or they actually win in court, it's a win.

If they lose, and are forced to pay damages, they just close that particular shop. No damages
are paid; because the company doesn't own ANYTHING other than the single patent. And that
single patent is now worthless, so who cares.
